Oh man, this video makes me feel like i definitley should play it one more time :-).
But i love the difficulty of the original. That's the reason why i enjoyed it this much. I have no idea how often i used the save state, but it was great. But by the way: Is it possible to move a hole room to another withoud any problems? Let's say to swap two rooms? I ask because i tried to use rooms 296-319 and it seems to work, but there is no way to edit this rooms with hyrule magic. But i could use a buffer room for editing and if this room is definitley finished, i move it to one of the rooms from 296-319. |

Puzzledude: Could you post how exactly you make this? It were nice if i could test it to transfer a room to 296 and above and see if it works. Ok, sprites, items, enemys are a problem but the bg-data is better than nothing, it's a beginning. |

Hi,
this Overlord-Tool is really great, thank you. And this disassembly....oh my god :-D. Ok, i have a question that euclid struggled with too. I am trying to make rain. Ok, there is no problem to set the variable for the beginning mode of the game. Sure, there is rain, but also the soldiers around preventing me from going to whereever i want. Not to mention what happen in later states of the game. In your disassembly i found the commands for the evil swamp. All jumps that lead to the RTL i back so they jump to the next piece of code for the rain. This way the game MUST execute these few lines. But the problem is, there is only the "rumbling noise" for the swamp, no rain sound and no overlay. I think that this piece of code is there for make the sound and moving the overlay but not for loading the overlay there. Any idea how to do this? (sorry, i have more knowledge of c and c++ than assembly) |

Ok i have the damn rain working on the overworld :-D. I will try to put this in a patch that is modifiable but this will need some time cause it is in a very early state. |

By the way, SePH, it was really confusing to find the hex values for overlays in the old gates of darkness rom and it took some time to figure out, that you simply deleted those lines :-D to make the overlays disappear.
Is there any interest in a complete patch to make every overlay working on every area and use the fade-outs on every area? And of course the animation code for the rain (with/without flashlights) and the flashlights from the dark world mountain? |

Ok, here it is. I needed to move the code to expanded space. I use bank 0x3F (the laste bank befor 2 MB's are reached).

Yes, the room headers are a major problem and puzzledude is right, after using my RoomHeaderExpander, the ROM is incompatible with Hyrule Magic. But therefore i wrote it this way, that you can use the expander after editing with HM. So you can edit the ROM and before testing, use the expander and then load it with the emulator. And then continue editing with the old one. The expander is for writing all the room header data in the final ROM (before you play it). All staircases/doors are saved in a textfile and when using the expander it saves the modified rom under a new name, nothing is overwritten. Give it a chance, it helped me alot when playing around with the Gates of Darkness ROM. When you understand how the program works, you will love it :-) because of the absolutely freedom in every room. |

Sorry, i always forget that there is no email notification on new replies in this board :-D.
Yes, you can edit the room header (transistions) after you've done all your editing. Puzzledude hast posted the link where you can get it. As he said, it is DOS-based, no graphical stuff. But it's easy if you understood it. There is a readme-file you should read carefully. You only need to export your room headers one time to a textfile (the tool makes this for you) and then you can start. I used the Gates of Darkness ROM to test it and it is really awesome to have the control about all doors/staircases. If you have any questions, ask, i will answer as goog as i can. There is also no problem to give you the source code of the program if you need it. |
